What is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in your shoulder joint. It typically develops in three stages:
- Freezing Stage: Pain increases and movement becomes limited.
- Frozen Stage: Pain may reduce, but stiffness remains.
- Thawing Stage: Movement slowly returns as the joint heals.
Frozen shoulder often affects people over 40, diabetics, or those with previous shoulder injuries.
